birthday weekend

The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

birthday weekend
08.10.05 (6:15 pm)   [edit]
People rule, sometimes. I've had a great birthday-weekend. I enjoyed spending time with Aaron, and wish he didn't have to leave. It's so good to see people consistently.
On Saturday, we took the Metra to Chicago. From Kenosha (currently the most northern stop on the line- maybe Milwaukee will be in a few years) to Chicago, a weekend pass is only $5. That beats driving and paying for parking! We went to the Chicago Cultural Center, which is beautiful and highly recommended, and Millenium Park (dedicated in '04). We then proceeded to make an icecream cake
On Sunday we went to church, and then partied-hardy in the afternoon, celebrating 4 August family birthdays rolled into one pool party. We ate chicken, corn, fruit, and the aforementioned 'cake.' And swam, and talked. Everyone shared at least one Augst memory, and I wish we had a video camera or recorded on tape! After that, Hope came and we hung out and talked- very cool. Hope is great, and I'm glad she was able to stop by! Aaron and I finished Ice Pirates, a movie, that night, I think- it took a few tries, because despite the title, it's a snoozer.
On Monday, Aaron read comics at the library while I babysat. We, along with Kenny, also pulled together a 'pool party' successfully. It started at 8, with the three of us and Ian, Kenny's friend. We played about 3 phases of Phase 10 before Sergei came, and one of Kenny's work-friends. Then it got loud, so we moved to another room, so if someone came, we could let them in. I don't know what happened to the 'leave a note on the front door' idea I'd had earlier. We talked and snacked for a while, and we never ate corn (we had so much left over from the day before). Finally, there was 7 of us, and we played Cranium. It rocked, and although there was a wide-range of personalities, etc., it seemed to be enjoyed by all. Shortly after one person left, another took his place, Serpe- the only other girl- and a new excitement filled the bunch. When she had to leave, there was a point at which I was overwhelmed by all of the testosterone- too many guys!! And we never swam- only Aaron wanted to with me- but I love people and hanging out and wish I would that as a full-time job!
More, with pictures I hope- soon.

As Aro says, 'Yay hanging out!' Sounds like it was a great time--i wish i could go swimming now...
